AskVia

Most AI chatbots live on their own website or app. AskVia lives in WhatsApp, so you ask questions in the same thread view you already use for messages.

AskVia is a WhatsApp AI chatbot that answers questions, writes and debugs code, translates text, and transcribes speech from one chat.

It runs on GPT-3.5.

Tasks include drafting essays, blog posts, captions and cover letters, answering technical and general questions, building savings plans and planning travel itineraries.

Two extras sit next to the text chat: speech-to-text transcription for voice input, and AI image generation.

Expect the quality of GPT-3.5 rather than anything newer.

For quick questions, translation help or a first draft, AskVia is convenient because there is nothing separate to open.

If you want a dedicated writing or coding workspace, a chat thread is a narrower fit.
